There doesn't seem to have been an air con discussion for a bit. Mine has
been on for a few days now. Lovely. I guess it will get turned off in
October.

Cue the "Sort out the cause rather than combating the symptoms" posts.

Saying that..... Just got a hire car with no aircon. Glad it's going
back on Tuesday!

If you'd got a car with aircon it would have been a cold wet weekend
- so we all thank you for this lovely sunshine!

On what was officially the hottest May day for 50 years, I was working
outside this afternoon when it started raining. Knew then the Bank Holiday
had started :-)

I spent a very unpleasant 40 mins parked in the middle lane of the M5 and
very nearly cooked in the wifes non aircon crisp packet ( my car, with
climate control is sat in the bodyshop waiting for the wet weather )
Leicester to Bristol and back = 6.5 hours Grrrrrrr

79 degrees in my north facing living room and I seem to remember someone
saying there is no need for aircon in the UK

Listened to the traffic on Radio 2 just before 17:00 - seemed like every
motorway was stopped. I even think she said something like "if you're on
the A1 you in a queue" - presumably it was solid end to end.

My car has climate control and I leave it running all year, the 2mpg
extra is worth it for the pleasant environment and lack of steamed up
windows.

Disgusting. You should get your obesity problem sorted out.

Perhaps you should get a job that makes you sweat a little, then you
might realise that obesity and sweating are not connected. Assuming that
you are latt thin.

What, we've all got to burn in global warming hell so you can run your
AC all summer?!?

What make AC do you have BTW?

cheers,

Yup. I must get round to installing a wind turbine pretty soon.

And I have always been firmly pro nuke. So that sorts a major source of
your global warming.

It's one of the numerous identical Japanese jobs. A bit over 6kW of lovely
installed Mitsubishi cooling power. It's been going well for about 5 uears
now.

Whatever ghastly furnace is going on outside, it stays a nice comfy 21
indoors - despite all the heat-emitting electronics all over the house.

Solar panel might be better, or buy a smallholding and plant a load of
trees.

6kW is a hell of a lot if it's just one room, if so then there must be
a lot of solar gain or radiating surfaces.

Also it's probably a bit out of date compared to modern japanese kit.

Was 32ish in here Friday, but it didn't feel /that/ hot though. Got a
couple of laptops (nice n quiet) and a couple of TFTs, so can't be
more than 100w tops.

cheers,
Pete.

Yah. I seriously looked into that when I installed the air con but it was
uneconomic then. Maybe it will get better in the future. Really fancy the
wind turbine, though.

I plant trees anyway. I like trees. I particularly like fruit trees but
we've also got a nice Cedar of Lebanon we planted.

It's not just one room and there's a lot of electronics here.

Could be.

21 is as hot as I like to be. I've been exactly the same since I was a kid.
The air con also sorts the humidity nicely when necessary.

Flat screens are all very well, but the cat falls off them. So the network
has to include an old fashioned monitor. There are two Mac laptops but they
aren't used all the time. Also, at the last count there were six or more
TVs and something like 10 satellite receivers. They tend to pump out a bit
when you add it all up.

A de-humidifier will sort out the humidity and make temps well above 21
deg. much more bearable.
